The OP doesn’t make clear whether every male singer to use a pure head voice should be in scope. Obviously there are tons of metal singers with crazy access to their upper register, but that’s not the same technique as the Al Green approach, so it’s not clear if your Halfords, Tates and such should get a mention.

Also a huge fan of the Beach Boys, and of psychedelic pop in various forms, and I remember feeling much the same way when I listened to The High Llamas.

Grizzly Bear are another example of this for me. There's nothing I dislike about them, they have some very good songs, and have obvious things in common with a lot of music I do like, but I've just never quite warmed to them.

This experience has become more common with age, alas... There's a lot of "new" music that I quite like but could never get excited about the way I might have done in my teens & twenties
